The Remington Standard Typewriter.

1T Is wonderful what strides have been
In this century to the completion of labor
saving machinery. We see by mechanical
devices, we speak through machinery, we
hear by machinery, and the present gen.
Grafton now write by machinery. The
Remington Standard Type Writer is one
and the age of pen-writing is one of the
past. With the Remington, good opera
tor can write from sixty to eighty words
per minute, and in one day do more work
than ten of the most expert penmen. Mr..
Arthur McQuirk, of New Orleans, was the
official Stenographer in the celebrated trial
in that city of Judge Lazarus. This gen.
tleman wrote during the ten days trial,
six hundred and forty pages per day, OF
three hundred and thirty words each, and
in ten days wrote over 5000 pages or over
1000, 900 words, which if done with pen
would have taken twenty-three men ten
days, working ten hours per day.
The machine is very simple, and can be
learned in ten or fifteen days, and will pay
for itself in a few months. These machines
are in use in Jackson by the First National
Bank, Hamilton, Hoskins & Co, Calhoon
q Green, Nugent & Melville, Attorneys,
j. Nj. Mckee, of L. S. Court, and others.
Mr.. III. II. Hodgson, of Is Carondelet
street, New Orleans, will be pleased to an
swer any inquiries about the Remington
and has at all times large stock of ma
chimes and supplies, such as carbon, pa
per, ribbons, and fine line of linen paper
adapted for all kinds of writing m achines

Not Settled Yet.

A dispute has arisen as to whether Inc
picture given as a type of Southern beauty
ia Harper's Monthly is that Of Vicks-
burg or New Orleans girl. An extract
from Vicksburg letter published IN the
Washington Herald, claims that IT Is a
picture Of the beautiful daughter OF Mr..
John McQuade, of Vicksburg, but the
Times-Democrat says that It is the picture
of 4 New Orleans girl.--CLARroS.

been 40 mistaken as to suppose that this

Maury Institute.
Holly Springs South. ]

Holly Springs South.
In taking charge of the Holly Springs
South, casting in our lot with the good
people of this promising little city and
noting all the features of interest about us,
nothing is more worthy of comment than
the schools. Upon what could we better
base hopes for prosperous future than
upon the wise and judicious instruction of
those who are soon to be the men and wo-
men Of the community. Our attention has
been especially attracted to Maury lnsti-
tute, school whose primary advantage
may be considered, its location in the
family of Judge Watson. His daughter,
Miss Z. ID. Watson, is the Principal, and
the girls are under immediate home infu-
ences which can scarcely be overestimated.
The school, which is limited to fifty pupils,
eighteen of these boarders, is under the
charge of FIVE exceptionally good teachers,
themselves trained after the best methods,
and when there is teacher to every ten
pupils. the best and most individual in
struction must be given. The boarding
department is most home-like, the sleep
ing apartments warm, well ventilated and
comfortable. The recreation room Is at
tractive and we'll arranged to afford exer-
else and pleasure in bad weather. In fact
il il a strong evidence of our advance and
propress when such an institution can be
found in our midst. A glimpse into the
warm, bright school room, group oil
eager Young students with faces OF blended
earnestness, intelligence and beauty. And
strange it is with such school at hand
that pupils should be sent out OF the State
when we have combined the best instrue-
ton with best climate, best society, and IN
| fact all the outside features, to promote
the health and general development Of
young girls. We hear there are thres
vacancies in the boarding department ane
| if our friends in the adjacent country wlsl
to do well for their daughters, these val
soon be filled.

sO.-
'There's many a Slip" etc. When
Nina Stuart Clark Van Zandt had pro-
cured the license authorizing her mar
rage with August Vincent Theodore
Spies, the condemned Anarchist leader
now IN Jail at Chicago, she did not
dream of the difficulties which have
arisen, and make her union with the
man OF her preference, apparently i'm
probable. The Sheriff in the exercise
Of his right, prevents her from visiting
her lover. 1t seems, besides, that Miss
Van Zandt's mother is offended at GER
tain loose opinions of her once prospec-
tive son-in-law on the relations of the
sexes, and viii probably send her
daughter away from Chicago, for a
time. Thus, spite of her folly, the ro-
mantle young lady of whom we present
likeness, will not have a condemned
Anarchist for her husband.
Her antecedents, cultivation and
present position are superior She is
comely, intelligent and handsomely
dressed. Her father is chemist, and,
at the time of her birth, about twenty
one years ago, was living in Philadel-
phia. Nina attended school in the
Quaker City, where she is well remem-
bered as a healthful, romping girl.
Her parents removed to Chicago in 1882,
where her father is a wealthy citizen.
After going West Nina was placed
at private school, where she was
prepared for Vassar College, Pough-
keepsie. Two years in this institution
completed an education which shows
favorably in the young lady's address.
She became attached to Spies as the
result of her attendance at the trial
which resulted in his conviction.
Visiting him in the jail from time to
time her affectionate interest increased,
and she determined, if possible, to
marry him. Miss Van Zandt's devo-
ton to her lover was shown in her
persistence in the course she had taken,
after her mothers sister, widow lady
residing in Pittsburg, had threatened,
If she married Spies, not to leave her
the fortune of $500, 600 promised her.

Rev. John H. Boyd, having no APP
pointment tor a fifth Sunday in his present
field of labor-Durant and Winona-de-
lighted his many friends in jackson by
visit last week. Having been invited by
DIR. Hunter TO occupy his pulpit on Sunday
morning and night, and the same having
been made generally known, large congre-
cations assembled on both occasions. All
were greatly pleased, edited and instructed
by his logical, forcible and eloquent expo
sition of the texts selected. As we listened
to this young man preaching the gospel to
people among whom he had been raised,
our thoughts went back to another occa-
sion, when, in the same place, and in APP
propriate costume, he personated Kris
kringle at a Christmas tree, and made a
poetical speech in which the name of
nearly every member of the Sunday school
was introduced. Johnnie Boyd was the
eloeutionist of the Sunday school then, and
the hopes and predictions of his family
and friends that he would one day be
bright and shining light in the gospel min
istry, are already being realized. We
would not write this if we did not know
that he had too much good sense to be
spoiled by newspaper compliment. He
needs no such incentive to high attainment
in the holy calling he has chosen, and in
which his numerous friends wish him the
grandest success.

FRANK LEsLIE's SUNDAY MAGAZINE for
February opens with Mr.. Powelrs Seventh
Leaf from his most interesting life, dealing
with Charles Dickens socially, critically
and anecdotically. Several appropriate
illustrations accompany the article, inciud-
ing two portraits of Dickens at different
periods Of his life. An article entitled
AThe Charitable Side of New York Life" "
is we'll illustrated, and gives many facts
concerning the numerous charities of the
great city. "Indian Babies" will be found
very interesting, as are also the pictures
that go with the text. Babies are babies
everywhere. The reader may make an in
expensive trip to the Islands Of Jersey in
the article of that title, and the illustra-
tons show the chief points of interest on
the island. The new story, "His Banner
Over Me-" begins to be exciting already,
and there are many short articles and
poems of merit. The colored engraving
which accompanies the number is gem
of art. The whole number is as usual, full
of fine pictures and collection of reading
matter suited to the varying tastes OF
every member of the family.
